Production company wants to meet Inland Northwest talent

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Feb 1st, 2010 – Actress/writer Hallie Todd of Disney’s “Lizzie McGuire,” and her husband, writer/producer/director Glenn Withrow, are currently in post-production on “The Mooring,” a feature film starring ten students from Hallie Todd Studios. They will be in Spokane February 19th, 2010 to present “The Road to Hollywood,” a free seminar and Q&A, from 7pm to 9pm at the Moran Prairie Branch Library (6004 South Regal Street, Spokane, WA) to adult actors and parents of young actors. Those who attend will get a sneak peak at a trailer for "The Mooring."

Withrow and Todd, through their production company In House Media Film Partners, are seeking talent for a slate of films, starting with their next project – a coming-of-age high school sports drama, which is scheduled to begin shooting in Washington October 2010.

“We have created our own version of the classic studio system paradigm, in which actors were trained by the studio producing the projects,” said Withrow. “We develop the scripts, nurture the talent, then cast in-house from our national student base. It gives many of these dedicated artists, living outside major film regions, a place to train and develop as actors under the guidance of the people writing, producing and directing the films.”

In House Media Film Partners plans on staying with niche films that can get distribution. The company is keeping an eye on what sells in the international marketplace. “We want to make sure the film will find an audience and be successful,” Withrow said.

“The Mooring,” a suspense-thriller aiming for a PG-13 rating, was filmed entirely on location in Washington and Northern Idaho this past summer. It is expected to be released later this year.

Hallie Todd Studios will also be offering two monologue classes on Saturday, February 20th, 2010 at the Shades Lounge at the Doubletree Hotel – City Center. Registration information is available at www.hallietoddstudios.com or by calling (818) 789-3760.
